Title: Locking mechanism for door of security enclosure
Inventor: SANDS RAYMOND LEONARD
IPC: E05B65/00
Filed: 1986-08-01
Abstract: The locking mechanism of a safe or strongroom door has a so-called relocker triggered by the shattering of either one of two channel-shaped glass elements (1,2) which are juxtaposed orthogonally with their web portions facing so as collectively to define a hollow hexahedral structure surrounding a primary lock (not shown, but mounted on the plate 6) for the door. The glass structure can therefore detect an attack e.g. with a drill or other such tool aimed at the primary lock from any direction. <IMAGE>

Title: Adjustable mounting of a component
Inventor: RENFREW ANDREW BOULTON
IPC: B60Q1/26
Filed: 1986-09-01
Abstract: A component (M) is mounted on a bracket (B) so that it may readily assume a predetermined position. A place (P) is present at one end of the component (M) and a cam (C) is present between the plate (P) and the bracket (B), bosses (8) of the plate (P) being received in slots (15) in the bracket (B) and movable up and down in the slots. The plate (P) has a ridge (9) arranged to co-operate with grooves in the cam (C). Rotation of the cam (C) moves the bosses (8) in the slots (15) and the cooperation of the ridge and grooves causes this movement to be incremental. The arrangement may be used for mounting a small motor having a gear shaft which has to be aligned with another gear and has application in the base of a rotating lamp on police vehicles. <IMAGE>

Title: Defibrillator electrode
Inventor: MILIJASEVIC ZORAN
IPC: A61B5/296
Filed: 1986-10-01
Abstract: A patch type defibrillator electrode for direct contact with the heart has a thin, flat, flexible generally circular mesh or foil conductive member 20 with a pattern of slits for enabling continuous contact with the three dimensional, time-varying heart surface topography. The slit pattern includes two pairs of non-intersecting semicircular slits oriented along mutually perpendicular axes, and interior portions of the conductive member are flexibly movable in a direction normal to the plane member and are flexibly tiltable about the axes to provide the conforming contact. The slits may also be radial slits which do not meet at the center so the leaves of conductive members are independently mobile with respect to every other leaf. A Dacron (R.T.M.) envelope 70, 72 having a thrombus formation inhibiting agent surrounds the conductive member including the peripheral edges to reduce the risk of tissue burning from current supplied to the center of the conductive member by an electrode lead 16. <IMAGE>

Title: Debossed and perforated film materials
Inventor: CURRO JOHN JOSEPH
IPC: B29C59/00
Filed: 1987-02-02
Abstract: The present invention provides for a process for transforming a substantially continuous web of substantially planar, deformable material having an indefinite length, a first surface, and a second surface into a formed material. The material has a transofrmation temperature range. The process comprises the following steps:(a) The web of material is provided on a forming structure with the first surface of the web of material proximate a forming surface of the forming structure. The forming surface moves in a direction of the length of the web of material and carries the web of material in that direction.(b) A liquid stream is applied to the second surface of the web of material. The liquid stream has sufficient force and mass flux to cause the web of material to be deformed toward the forming surface, such that the material acquires a substantial three-dimensional conformation.(c) The temperature of the web of material is controlled such that it remains below the transformation temperature range of the material throughout the process.
Patent GB-2201278-A (GB)
Title: Amusement or gaming machines
Inventor: COATES NEIL BEVERLY
IPC: G07F17/34
Filed: 1987-02-18
Abstract: One or several of the reels of a fruit machine are arranged to spin to their terminal speed by a relatively long acceleration period during which time the facility is provided for the player to attempt to arrest the reel or reels with a desired symbol on the combination line. The acceleration process by which the full reel speed is achieved could be a smooth acceleration, but a stepping of the reels is advantageous, the timing of the steps being such as to provide an overall acceleration of the relevant reel. Thus, a reel can be stepped through five reel positions before it is rotated at full speed, the durations of periods that the reel is stationary displaying a symbol on the combination line being reduced for successive symbols, whilst the actual duration of the step from one reel position to the next can remain constant.
Patent GB-2187156-A (GB)
Title: A conveyor system with means to accumulate articles
Inventor: RAILTON TERENCE JOHN
IPC: B65G47/26
Filed: 1987-02-23
Abstract: A conveyor system for conveying articles between two points comprises at least one elongate conveyor (4) for conveying articles, a plurality of elongate support members (9) which extend parallel with said at least one conveyor (4), and an elongate lifting assembly (5) associated with either each conveyor (4) or each support member (9). Each lifting assembly comprises an elongate inflatable bag (7), an elongate base member (6) which supports the said bag (7) along its length and an elongate lifting member (9) located above the said bag (7). In use, when the said bag (7) is inflated the lifting member (9) is raised, thereby raising the said conveyor (4) or the said support member (9) relative to the said support member (9) or the said conveyor (4), respectively, and when the bag (7) is deflated the lifting member (9) is lowered, thereby lowering the said conveyor (4) or the said support member (9) relative to the said support member (9) or the said conveyor (4), respectively. Articles may thus be accumulated or conveyed as desired. <IMAGE>

Title: Power-driven hammer
Inventor: KALTENECKER JOHANN
IPC: B25D11/00
Filed: 1987-06-19
Abstract: Power-driven hammer with a pneumatic percussion mechanism having a retention device with holding elements (5, 30, 30', 50, 60, 80, 100, 110, or 120) which retain the striker (3, 3', 3'', 3''', 3'''') during idling. The holding elements (5, 30, 30', 50, 60, 80, 100, 110, or 120) are controlled by the striking pin (4, 4', 4'', 4''', 4''''), the tool shank, a shifting sleeve (69) or another movable component of the percussion mechanism, so that, when the hammer is lifted off from the masonry, they engage with their hook-like extensions (6, 31, 51, 61 or 81) or a groove (7, 7', 7'', 7''') of the striker (3, 3', 3'', 3''', 3'''') and retain the latter. When the hammer drill is restarted, they are automatically disengaged, so that the percussion mechanism is reactivated. By means of the retention device, the idling travel of the striker is reduced considerably; furthermore, it is possible to do away completely with the otherwise customary idling bore provided in the guide tube for the piston. The holding elements may be prestressed outwardly by an inner spring ring 10 and biased radially towards the striker 3 by a spring ring 9. The elements may assume the form of an annular spring, biased rocking levers, elastic blocking sleeve or a sprung rigid sleeve 120. <IMAGE>
